Row 4: P 1, * k 1, p 1, repeat from * to marker, work in ribbing as established to end of Row. Repeat these 4 rows for 2 inches, ending at arm edge. On the next Row change to larger needles and work Row 1 of pattern st for left front to marker, sl remaining 9 sts onto a holder to be worked later for frontband. Continue in pattern as established on 59(61-65-69-73) sts until piece measures 14(14-14 ½ -14 ½ -14 ½ )inches, ending with a wrong side Row.

SHAPE FULL-FASHIONED RAGLAN ARMHOLE:

At the beg of the next Row bind off 3(4-5-5-5) sts, work to end of Row.

Row 2: Work even in pattern as established.

Row 3: K 2, sl 1, k 1, psso, work in pattern as established to end of Row.

Work 6(6-6-8-9) sts and sl these sts onto a holder, work to end of Row. Dec 1 st at neck edge EVERY ROW 4(4-4-2-2) times, and then every other Row 4(4-5-7-7) times, and AT THE SAME TIME, continue to dec 2 sts at arm edge in same manner as before every other Row 6(67-8-8) times, ending at arm edge -- 3 sts.

Row 5: BUTTONHOLE: ,Starting at front edge, work 3 sts, bind off the next 3 sts, work to end of Row. On the next Row cast on 3 sts over those bound off previous Row.

Continue in pattern as established until piece measures 2 inches. On the next Row work to marker and sl these 9 sts onto a holder to be worked later for frontband; change to larger needles and work as follows:

Row 2: (K 1, p 1), 3(4-4-6-6) times, repeat between *'s of Row 2 of pattern st for back, (p 3 tog; k, p, k all in next st) 4(4-5-5-6) times. Continue in this manner to reverse placing of pattern st and finish to correspond to left front, reversing all shaping.

TO DEC FOR FULL-FASHIONED RAGLAN ARMHOLE: Work to last 4 sts, k 2 tog, k 2. On the next Row k 1, p 2, work to end of Row.

RIGHT FRONTBAND: SL 9 sts from holder onto smaller needle, join yarn at inner edge and continue in pattern as established, forming 6 more buttonholes, evenly spaced -- the last one to be made in neckband.

Change to larger needles and work in pattern st, inc 1 st each end of needle every 1( ¾ , ¾ , ¾ , ½ ) inch 14 (16-18-19-21) times, working inc sts in double seed st. Work even in pattern as established on 80(84-88-90-94) sts until piece measures 17 ½ (17½ -18-18-18) inches, ending with a wrong side Row.

NECKBAND: With right side facing you, using smaller needles, pick up and k 97(101-103-107-109) sts around neck edge, including sts from holders.

Row 1: Work 9 sts in double seed st as established, p 1, * k 1, p 1, repeat from * to last 9 sts, work in double seed st to end of row.

Keeping 9 sts at each end of needle in double seed st, work remaining sts in ribbing as established, and AT THE SAME TIME, on the next row form another buttonhole in right front band in same manner as before.
